Aluminum Plate Drops at Unbeatable Prices

“Have you ever wanted to go rummaging through a scrap metal yard to find some aluminum pieces for a home project, arts and crafts, or to fix something mechanical? You don’t want to spend a lot of money, but you also don’t want to spend a lot of time looking for what you need. Years ago, while working at a machine shop in WI, we purchased our aluminum plate from an aluminum distributor called Howard Precision Metals. They did a great job cutting our aluminum plate parts. Wow! They can precision saw cut aluminum plate. Not only does Howard Precision Metals sell aluminum but 85% of what they sell is saw cut to size. Because of this, they create and stock a tremendous amount of aluminum plate drops or remnants.

Posted on March 5, 2018 by Agency Jet

Certain companies represent the American business dream of starting small, starting from scratch, surviving times of economic hardship, and still coming out on top.

Howard Precision is an excellent example of this. It was the dream of one man, a man who carried the business through the Great Depression, to not only survive, but triumph. Through the quality of their customer service and superior product and cutting capabilities, Howard Precision maintains their family oriented, small-company feel in a large-scale industry.

From Humble Beginnings

Howard Precision is a Wisconsin-based provider of custom aluminum products cut to precise tolerances. Alva Howard started the company from humble beginnings in 1928, and today, the company is still a family business and is one of the leading suppliers of aluminum goods in the industry.

Alva Howard initially borrowed $1,500 from his mother to start the business. Through fantastic customer service with a personal touch, Howard not only managed to carry the business through the Great Depression, but also got to see success on the other side.

Howard Precision Today

When Alva’s son, Bob Howard, joined the business, they expanded and invested in aluminum applications and purchased high-end saws. Bob Howard went on to develop his own blade designs, something currently considered one of the keys to Howard Precision’s industry success.

Today, the company has several precision extrusion saws, a Behringer and Amada band saw, six precision plate saws, all designed from start to finish with the application of cutting aluminum in mind. Today, Bob Howard is known as a premier authority on all things aluminum, and Howard Precision’s uniquely-designed blades for cutting aluminum produces results few, if any, can match.
